2012-08-11-20:00:00 Mobile PWN2OWN Rules
Zero Day Initiative (ZDI), along with our sponsors RIM and AT&T, will offer four prizes, one each to the first researcher to successfully compromise a device through one of the following vectors:
- Mobile Web Browsers
- Near Field Communication (NFC)
- Short Message Service (SMS)
- Cellular Baseband
Each contestant will be allowed to select the device they wish to compromise during the pre-registration process. The only requirement is that it be a current device and running the latest operating system. The exact OS version, firmware and model numbers will be coordinated with the pre-registered researcher. Some examples of devices include:
- BlackBerry Bold 9930
- Samsung Galaxy SIII
- Nokia Lumia 900
- Apple iPhone 4S
For researchers registering on-site, we will have the above devices available if the target/vector has not already been compromised. Exact details of the OS version, firmware and model numbers will be available in a future update. We will review the devices prior to the competition and ensure they are in a clean state.
A successful attack against these devices must require little or no user interaction and must compromise or exfiltrate useful data from the phone. Any attack that can incur cost upon the owner of the device (such as silently calling long-distance numbers, eavesdropping on conversations, and so forth) is within scope. To avoid interfering with licensed carrier networks, all RF attacks must be completed within the provided RF isolation enclosure. The vulnerabilities utilized in the attack must be an 0-day. ZDI reserves the right to determine what constitutes a successful attack. As always, vulnerabilities revealed by contest winners will be disclosed to affected vendors through HP's Zero Day Initiative.
A successful compromise of any of these targets will win the contestant the cash prize, the device itself, and 20,000 ZDI reward points* which immediately qualifies them for Silver standing.
*Benefits of ZDI Silver standing include a one-time $5,000 USD cash payment, 15% monetary bonus on all ZDI submissions over the next calendar year, 25% reward point bonus on all ZDI submissions over the next calendar year and paid travel and registration to attend the 2013 DEFCON Conference in Las Vegas.
Along with the prize money, each winner will receive a BlackBerry PlayBook courtesy of RIM. Prize money for the first researcher to compromise a device for each of the vectors is listed below.
- Mobile Web Browser
- Cellular Baseband
For this competition contestants are asked to pre-register by contacting ZDI via e-mail at email@example.com. This will allow us to ensure we have the necessary resources in place to facilitate the attack. If more than one researcher registers for a given category, the order of the contestants will be drawn at random. The schedule will be announced a week before the contest.
On-site registration will still be available if the targets have not been compromised and if the required hardware and software prerequisites are available.
Each contestant will have a 30-minute time slot in which to complete their attempt (not including time to set up possible network or device prerequisites).Reference

U.S. Women Prepare for 2006 Peace Queen Cup Championship Match vs. Canada
Nov 3, 2006
Notes from Seoul, South Korea
2006 Peace Queen Cup
Nov. 3, 2006
U.S. WOMEN FACE CANADA FOR 2006 PEACE QUEEN CUP CHAMPIONSHIP: The U.S. Women's National Team traveled almost 6,000 miles across the world for the Peace Queen Cup in South Korea and in the championship game will be playing...Canada. That's akin to going on an Australian vacation and finding your next door neighbor in the adjacent hotel room. However, the USA-Canada rivalry has developed into a great one over the last few years and the match will surely be worthy of the final in this major competition. Canada wasn't even supposed to be in this tournament, but when North Korea dropped out, the Canadians were invited to take their place and ran rough-shod over the Group A teams – South Korea, Italy and Brazil – to earn a spot in the title game. The USA and Canada could meet again in less than a month at the 2006 CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup, which will serve as Women's World Cup qualifying for the CONCACAF region. Both the USA and Canada will play semifinal matches on Nov. 22 at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., and would meet in the regional championship match on Nov. 26 if both teams win their semifinal games. The teams will meet for sure on Nov. 4 at Seoul World Cup Stadium for the Peace Queen Cup title. Kickoff is for Saturday at 1:30 p.m. local time / 11:30 p.m. Friday ET.
THIRD FINAL FOR RYAN: This USA-Canada match will mark the third tournament final U.S. head coach Greg Ryan has coached with the USA, having led the USA to the 2005 and 2006 Algarve Cup championship games, both against Germany. The USA defeated Germany in the 2005 Algarve Cup Final and fell in penalty kicks in the 2006 title game after drawing 0-0 in regulation. The USA also played a de facto championship game in the 2006 Four Nations Tournament in China last January as the final group match between the USA and China decided the round-robin competition with the USA coming away with a 2-0 win.
JUST A JOG AND STRECH: The U.S. team did not train on the field on Friday, Nov. 3, instead they jogged and stretched at the hotel gym, loosening up for their fourth match in seven days. The game will surely be a test for both the USA and Canada, with the number of games in such a short period in addition to the fact that, like most USA-Canada clashes, the match will surely be physical and combative.
WE MEET AGAIN: The USA and Canada have already met one time this year, that being a 2-0 U.S. win on July 30 in Cary, N.C. The hard-fought match saw Abby Wambach score a penalty kick at the stroke of halftime while Natasha Kai added a goal in the 80th minute. Five players who played in that match for Canada are not on the Peace Cup roster; collegians Aysha Jamani and Amanda Cicchini and three players currently in a dispute with the Canadian Soccer Association: Christine Latham, Sharolta Nonen and long-time star and captain Charmaine Hooper. The USA will not have four players who played in that match, all forwards, in Christie Welsh, Heather O'Reilly, Megan Rapinoe and most likely Abby Wambach, who sprained her ankle against the Netherlands in the last match.

USA vs. CANADA HISTORY: The USA and Canada renew a rivalry in the Peace Queen Cup title game that has become as heated as any in the world, but it wasn't always that way. It was certainly a one-sided affair for the first 15 years the teams played, as the USA racked up 21 straight wins and 22 victories in 23 games from 1986-2000, Canada has experienced a resurgence in the new millennium, one that has seen them move up to No. 10 in the FIFA Women's World Rankings. In November of 2000, Canada picked up its first win over the USA in a decade and a half, but it has proven to be a blip on the radar, as the USA has won eight of the last 11 games (and six in a row) with two ties since then, and the one loss came with a very young team at the 2001 Algarve Cup. Still, all the matches in the last two years have been highly competitive (outside of a game in Washington, D.C., when Canada brought a young team), and the match will no doubt be a difficult one for both sides. The USA has defeated Canada in three CONCACAF qualifying events for the Women's World Cup, winning the regional title games in 1991, 1994 and 2002, when the USA notched a dramatic sudden death overtime win on a goal from Mia Hamm on a muddy, fog-shrouded pitch at the Rose Bowl in the championship of the 2002 Women's Gold Cup. In three of the last four meetings the USA has managed just two goals per game, but Canada has failed to score over those four matches. The match will mark the 37th meeting between the two teams, the second most of any opponent in U.S. Women's National Team history. Only Norway (39) has played the USA more times. Amazingly, of the 36 meetings between the two teams, only four have been in Canada. Twenty-three of the games have been played in the USA and nine have been on neutral ground. The USA and Canada have played at least once a year every year since 1993.

July 30, 2006 2-0 W Wambach, Kai Cary, N.C. Fourth straight shutouts vs. Maple Leafs
USA vs. CANADA PREVIEW: Canada dominated all three of its matches so far in the Peace Queen Cup, and with 10 goals is the highest scoring team in the tournament. Canada, however, gave up five goals in group play, tied with two other teams for second most in the tournament. Only South Korea gave up more with six. Group B proved to be much stingier in the goals department as just 10 were scored over the six matches. Group A featured 20 goals in its six matches. In Group A, only one team failed to score in a game, when South Korea lost to Brazil, 1-0. In Group B, there were shutouts in four of the six games and the Netherlands failed to score a goal in three losses.
Both Teams Having Excellent 2006 Campaigns
Canada has picked up some excellent results this year, beating Sweden and France in 2006 while compiling a 9-1-4 record. Canada's only loss in 2006 is to the USA. The U.S. team is 15-0-4 in 2006 and 23-0-5 under head coach Greg Ryan. Nineteen of the 20 players on the U.S. roster have played in the Peace Queen Cup with the only exception being defender Amy LePeilbet, who is carrying a slight injury. USA-Canada games are never attractive affairs and one would expect this one to be similarly physical, with the USA's backs and midfielders challenged to repel Canada's long-ball style. Canada's head coach, Even Pellerud, is one of just four coaches to win a Women's World Cup title, doing so with his native Norway in 1995, and his team's direct style of play is reflective of his Scandinavian background. Canada is always a tough team to score against, but if the USA can match the physicality of their northern neighbors, the USA's superior speed and ball possession abilities have usually spelled victory.
Sinclair So Dangerous
The USA will certainly have to focus on containing star striker Christine Sinclair, the leading scorer in this tournament with six goals and scorer of a remarkable 39 goals in 2005 when she led Portland to the NCAA title and won the MAC Hermann Trophy in a landslide. The 2006 FIFA Women's World Player of the Year nominee is lethal in the penalty box, but has not scored on the USA since 2003 when she got her country's lone goal in the USA's 3-1 win in the Women's World Cup third place match. Almost all of Canada's players played college soccer in the United States, and two currently do, in Brittany Timko (a senior at Nebraska) and Robin Gayle (a junior at UNC).
U.S. head coach Greg Ryan on playing in a tournament final:
"It's just another great experience for this young team and without Abby on the field, it means we're even younger, so I think it's a great opportunity. So far, whenever we've had a challenge in front of these players, they've gone after it. I am very confident that they will step up tomorrow and play great. The more (tournament finals) you get to play, the more experience you get for your players, you season the young players, and you get stronger. That process has been going on for a couple of years now and things continue to look good for us."

NOT FIRST TRIP TO SOUTH KOREA FOR RYAN: While this is the first trip to South Korea for the U.S. Women's National Team, it is not the first trip for U.S. Women's National Team head coach Greg Ryan. In 1979, while playing in the NASL for the New York Cosmos, Ryan came to Asia on a post-season tour with the Cosmos that took the team, in part, to Australia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Hong Kong and South Korea. The Cosmos played the Korean National Team in two games and to Ryan's recollection, lost both.
CLICK ON ALL_ACCESS VIDEO AND JOIN THE USA IN SOUTH KOREA: The first-ever trip to South Korea for the U.S. Women's National Team has been busy and eventful. To see video of the USA's journey, including a special trip to the DMZ, a feature on Leslie Osborne's debut as a runway model, and highlights and reaction from the games, go to all_access video on ussoccer.com.
RARE RED CARD: Kristine Lilly's dubious red card against the Netherlands was just the sixth in the 21-year history of the U.S. Women's National Team spanning 380 matches, which should be worthy of some sort of Fair Play Award, especially considering Briana Scurry's red card at the 1995 Women's World Cup was one of the strangest in World Cup history. She was ejected from the first-round match against Denmark for stepping out of the penalty area on a punt. Mia Hamm famously played the last few minutes in goal for the USA. The other U.S. red cards were to Michelle Akers (1991), Thori Bryan (1994 for her part in a brawl against Trinidad & Tobago), Julie Foudy (1996) and most recently before the Lilly ejection, to Kylie Bivens (2003). It should be noted that not only had Lilly never before been sent off in her pervious 315 career games, but she's only received 13 yellow cards over that span as well, an average of one every 24 matches.
SEOUL WORLD CUP STADIUM: The Peace Queen Cup championship game will be played at the spectacular 64,000-seat Seoul World Cup Stadium, site of three games during the 2002 FIFA World Cup, including Senegal's opening game upset of France and Germany's 1-0 win over Korea in the semifinal in one of the biggest events in Korean sports history. The venues for the Peace Queen Cup have all been excellent, from the organization, to the playing surfaces to the fans in the stands, and the Seoul WC Stadium will no doubt serve as an excellent back drop for the title game.
RAMPONE TIES AKERS ON ALL-TIME CAPS LIST: When she came on in the 66th minute of the USA's win over the Netherlands, defender Christie Rampone earned her 153rd cap for the USA, tying Michelle Akers for 13th on the all-time caps list. Rampone, who debuted in 1997 as Christie Pearce against Australia, has quietly put together one of the most distinguished careers for a defender in U.S. history. She remains the only player from a small soccer school – Monmouth in New Jersey – to make an impact on the national team.
Stat of Note
The USA has played 19 games this year and allowed just nine goals. It is the lowest number of goals ever allowed in a calendar year by the USA when playing at least 19 matches.

The Habs have avoided arbitration by signing Michael Ryder to a contract. It is a one-year deal.
Final roster is set for the Expert Division of the DobberHockey Expert League. See 'Announcements for the complete list.
Tomas Fleischmann, Jakub Klepis and John Erskine are the unsigned Caps. Negotiations are ongoing with all three of them.
The Habs have made Patrice Brisebois an offer - $700,000. I don't trust his back to let him play more than 60 games regardless.
The Boston Globe is reporting that with a glut of pivots on the roster there may be a trade in the works. With Savard, Bergeron, Kessel and Soderberg all deserving first or second-line status, plus Ben Walter and David Krejci ready to make the jump, the team is in a bit of a jam. Obviously they will move Kessel to the left side and the may consider moving Bergeron to the right. That would make all the pieces fit...but that would push Schaefer and Axelsson to the fourth line and Chistov right off the team. I think if Soderberg impresses in camp, they will move a player or two. I don't see Walter playing for Boston this year.

Biotherm Homme Cleansing Gel
By admin on February 7th, 2008
Biotherm is one of my favourite cosmetic lines. Their cosmetics are light and fragrant and feel very expensive without actually being too expensive.
Before it was available in this country, my Canadian friend introduced me to it. The fact that my countrymen couldn't enjoy it's benefits just added to its exoticism – imagine my chagrin when it finally became available on these shores. Hrumph.
Anyway, I'm resigned to that now, so I'm happy to share what I know
about it. As you may remember, I'm road testing a few cosmetics for
Brandish and the next one is Biotherm Homme's Cleansing Gel.

Arkansas State has scheduled a news conference for 3:30 p.m. to announce the hiring of a new coach to replace Hugh Freeze who left to take the head coaching job at Ole Miss last week.
Whether Malzahn will begin his duties immediately or stay with the Tigers through their Dec. 31 Chick-fil-A Bowl game with Virginia is unknown.
If he leaves immediately, the Tigers will be without an offensive or a defensive coordinator. Auburn defensive coordinator Ted Roof left last week to take a similar position at Central Florida.
Earlier Tuesday, Auburn coach Gene Chizik, who is presently serving as defensive coordinator, was asked about the possibility that Malzahn would leave for another coaching job before the bowl game.
"Gus and I have a great relationship and we've had several discussions about moving forward in his career and where his goals are," Chizik said. "At the end of the day, his decisions are going to be up to him and I'm sure he's going to make the best decision for him and his family. But we're very open when we talk about it. Again, if an opportunity arises, I'm sure he'll do what's best for him and his family, just like I did."
In three seasons at Auburn, Malzahn made himself into a hot head-coaching commodity. The Tigers set almost every school record for offense last season with Cam Newton at quarterback while finishing unbeaten and winning the BCS title.
Malzahn won the Frank Broyles Award as the nation's top assistant coach, and was a candidate in the head coaching searches at both Maryland and Vanderbilt.
He chose to remain at Auburn after receiving a raise to $1.3 million per year.
Auburn struggled to a 7-5 record this season, partially due to significant personnel losses from last year's team.
Even so, Malzahn was a candidate for the head coaching jobs at North Carolina and Kansas before landing the job at Arkansas State, which plays in the Sun Belt Conference.
The move brings Malzahn, a native of Fort Smith, Ark., back to his roots.
Malzahn was one of the top high school coaches in Arkansas for 14 seasons before Houston Nutt hired him to become Arkansas' offensive coordinator.
He left after one season to take a similar position at Tulsa, where he also served as assistant head coach.


text: I grew up with Star Wars. It was as a huge part of my childhood development. I am 31 years old, Episode IV is older than I am. I never had a chance to see the original trilogy in the theaters. My first memories of Star Wars came from watching The Empire Strikes Back on an old VHS tape, recorded off of television. It wasn't until we received a collector's edition VHS set for Christmas that I experienced a Star Wars movie without the bits of commercials. Regardless, these stories are so powerful that, for me, three decades have passed and the films are still exciting and have progressed from simply a piece of pop culture to a modern day mythology.


text: Two adults and a juvenile were arrested early this (Tuesday) morning on theft from automobile charges. According to the Daviess County Sheriff's office, the arrests occurred after 4:30am when deputies were in the Woodcrest Subdivision area where suspicious activity was reported. The two adults, 18 year old Jordan T Hall and 18 year old Hunter T Beard, both of Owensboro, and the juvenile, allegedly were found with stolen baseball/softball equipment, a radar detector and a GPS device, all reportedly stolen from vehicles. The three also may have attempted entry into other vehicles in the area. Due to the value of the items, the three were charged with felony counts of theft.

Governor's war on transparency
Announcing his 2006 gubernatorial bid in February 2004, then-Stamford Mayor Dannel P. Malloy said the corruption scandal engulfing then-Gov. John G. Rowland was rooted in Connecticut state government being "a closed insider game." Then-Mayor Malloy promised a transparency-oriented "fundamental change in our approach to government."
Gov. Malloy recently proposed legislation that seems inconsistent with that pledge.

Product Description
It's easy to keep your cool when the temperature rises with Kenmore's™ 5200 BTU room air conditioner. The unit's relatively light weight of just over 40 pounds allows for single-person window installation. Easy-to-use push buttons and remote control make beating the heat a quick and simple operation. Most importantly, with the window air conditioner quietly humming away, there's enough power, 5200 BTUs, to cool small rooms and studio apartments.
This window air unit packs a mighty punch for its size yet remains highly efficient and earth friendly. A 24-hour on/off timer and sleep mode let you control when the air conditioner is working.

It does cool well. I like the timer, sleep, cool, fan, energy savings features. Yes, the remote and ac face are impossible to read w/o a magnifying glass & flash light. Yes, the AC is much louder when in the cool/energy saving mode. More so than my 10 yr. old wall model I had...sad to say. It's in the wall already, & I'm stuck w/ it. But, quiet, not really. Not to me anyway. But in a 2nd story large room that gets very hot in the summer, it's OK. I turn the tv louder. If I were to do it again, I'd plug it in when I took it out of the box to see how loud it was BEFORE installing it. Having bought 2 other Sears ac units w/o the same noise issue, it never occurred to me to do that. Lesson learned.

Do not buy this or the 8,000 BTU model. 2 of 2 units we've bought have NOT worked properly. The first one left a strange smell in the room. We purchased a warranty but since they could not recreate the surroundings (a small enclosed room) they could not smell anything. They couldn't find anything wrong with the unit so now were stuck with a smelly AC I will not use. We replace this with a little larger unit and while this one doesn't stink, it does not cool at all. Since it's permanently installed we called for on site service only to be told that they cannot repair it if they have to stand on a ladder. I guess part of the problem is the manufacturer and the other problem is Sears. I will NEVER purchase an appliance to warranty from them again. Ever!

It is a little hard to read unit and remote but it has kept us cool through the heat wave.

Editor's note: This editorial originally appeared in The Star on Saturday, Nov. 23, 1963.
This nation and the free world suffered by far the greatest tragedy of our time in the assassination yesterday of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Tex.
He was, indeed, an inspired and inspiring leader who belongs to the ages.
Born to great wealth, he early distinguished himself in academic work, served heroically in combat in World War II, worked for the International News Service for a time before being elected Congressman, and at age 43 became the youngest President of the United States.
He was, in our considered opinion, the equal of Jefferson and Wilson in his intellectual orientation, and none of his 34 predecessors in the White House brought to that abode as much enthusiasm, warmth and affection as did John. F. Kennedy as a young husband and father.
In all of the nation's history, only four Chief Executives have been cut down by assassin's bullets: Abraham Lincoln in 1865, James Garfield in 1881, William McKinley in 1901, and now Mr. Kennedy lies dead at the hands of a heinous murderer.
Although he served less than three years as President, it is safe to say that his administration will go down in history, considering the enormity and complexity of domestic and international problems with which he came to grips, as an outstandingly effective and successful one.
In fact, President Kennedy's high place in history is vouchsafed by the heartfelt tributes now being paid to his memory by leading personages over the globe.
In London, Sir Winston Churchill, foremost living statesman, has said, referring to President Kennedy's assassination, as a "monstrous" act.
"The loss to the United States and to the world is incalculable. Those who come after Mr. Kennedy must strive to achieve the ideals of world peace and human happiness and dignity to which his Presidency was dedicated."
President De Gaulle of France, himself the target of two major assassination attempts, said in Paris:
"President Kennedy died as a soldier, under fire, for his duty and in service to his country. In the name of the French people, a friend at all times of the American people, I salute this great example and this great memory."
Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller asserted in New York City that the death of President Kennedy is "a terrible tragedy" for the nation and the world.
"May God grant strength and guidance to Lyndon Johnson as he assumes his grave responsibilities under tragic circumstances," Rockefeller continued. "The prayers of all of us will indeed be with him."
Indeed, in the fact of Mr. Johnson's succession to the Presidency, there is an insight into Mr. Kennedy's greatness.
At the 1960 Democratic convention in Los Angeles, Mr. Kennedy sought no neutral running mate after he had won the Presidential nomination. Instead, he made straight for the convention headquarters of Mr. Johnson, his strongest rival, asking that he accept the Vice Presidential nomination.
Hence, while the nation ponders its staggering loss, it can find consolation in knowing that the reins of government have passed to a strong, capable man.
It also can draw inspiration and guidance in all the years to come from the martyred Mr. Kennedy's priceless legacy of courage, humanitarianism and high ideals.
Not quite three years ago, Jan, 20, 1961, President Kennedy said, "We observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom -- symbolizing an end was well as a beginning -- signifying a renewal as well as change."
And, at the time, he called on us thus: "And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country."
Thirteen months ago yesterday, he summoned the awful might of the new weaponry that he symbolized and used it with strength combined with wise restraint.
It was 7 p.m., Oct. 22, 1962. The whole world shuddered when he told a stunned nation:
"It shall be the policy of this nation to regard any nuclear missile launched from Cuba against any nation in the Western Hemisphere as an attack by the Soviet Union on the United States requiring a full retaliatory response upon the Soviet Union."
Yesterday, he was on his way to strike out at the apostles of fear and doubt.
He would have said at the Dallas Trade Mart:
"Other voices are heard in the land, voices preaching doctrines wholly unrelated to reality, wholly unsuited to the '60s, doctrines which apparently assume that words will suffice without weapons, that vituperation is as good as victory and that peace is a sign of weakness."
He would have said these plain words, but they are now part of the epitaph he wrote for himself.

Paul tingley sailed his 2.4 metre boat in the Paralympics in Beijing in 2008 to become the first Canadian to win Gold in sailing. In 2010 he won the 2.4 World Championship. Join Paul as he relates the story of Beijing and beyond.
This fundraising event for Able Sail Kingston will be held on Thursday November 18, 2010 at the Sydenham Church in Kingston, Ontario. The doors will open at 6:30pm and the admission for the event is $25 or $15 for students.
In case you would like to read more about Paul, you can go to this website:
Since 2002 Able Sail has been actively providing persons with disabilities the opportunity to sail recreationally and competitively. The Program is coming off one of our best seasons with tremendous growth in participation, but unfortunately this has come at a cost. The two Martin 16s are beginning to show their age and we have had some unexpected repairs that had to be completed. We also had to replace the Mk III Power Assist Joystick Module, which was another unexpected and very expensive expense. As a result, Able Sail needs to raise funds in order to continue to provide the same level of program for the coming years.
Able Sail is urging that you come out and support this important fundraising event on the 18th!!!PTfundraiserposter.JPG

For Immediate Release
March 11, 2005
Facility along Old Stone Hill Road will house galleries, classroom, outdoor café, and Williamstown Art Conservation Center, to begin the Clark's expansion and campus enhancement project.
WILLIAMSTOWN, MA (March 11, 2005) - The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute has selected Pritzker-Prize-winning architect Tadao Ando to design a second building on its South Street campus. The new gallery and conservation center, the important first step in the Clark's overall expansion announced in 2003, will be located on the wooded hillside along Old Stone Hill Road on the Clark's campus, about 1,000 feet south of its existing buildings. The 32,000 square-foot wood building will house new galleries, an art studio classroom, an outdoor café, and the Williamstown Art Conservation Center (WACC). A shelter for hikers and skiers who use the nearby trails is also planned. Designs for the facility at Stone Hill, estimated at about $20 million, will be unveiled in the fall. The Clark will break ground between fall 2005 and spring 2006, and open the building in the summer of 2007.
The site and architect selection were officially approved by the Clark's trustees at their March meeting this past weekend. Reed Hilderbrand Associates of Watertown, Massachusetts, the firm working with Ando on the campus enhancement, will also be landscape architects for the Stone Hill facility.
"We are delighted that Mr. Ando will design the first phase of our expansion," said Michael Conforti, director of the Clark. "We will now begin to realize the master plan for the campus that we have been working on for several years. Ando's designs for this first phase building and his sensitivity to landscape will unite the entire campus with a coordinated vision. I know he will design a beautiful building that will enhance the great natural beauty of Stone Hill. The woodland galleries will provide a unique, contemplative experience of art in nature. This building will also offer new exhibition and educational programs for the community while providing a state-of-the-art facility for the Williamstown Art Conservation Center. Furthermore, the integration of this site with existing trails will enhance the experience of the campus for the visitors, students, and community residents who have long appreciated the special views and trails of Stone Hill."
The facility will be located approximately 1,000 feet to the south of the Clark's 1973 red granite building and 100 feet from the Buxton School property line, near old Stone Hill Road. The level area, about one third of the way up the hill, was a farm field as recently as the 1950s. The meadow and crest of Stone Hill, a well-known feature of the Clark's campus, will remain untouched, and the Clark will maintain and add to the walking and hiking trails there.
"Much of the Stone Hill area was open farmland over the past century," said Gary Hilderbrand of Reed Hilderbrand Associates. "Aerial photographs from the 1920s and 1960s indicate open fields and hedgerows. Today the site has a forest cover of varied character. We intend to preserve and enhance the stream corridor and to save any heritage trees along the hedgerows. We will also be replanting many areas to achieve a mix of woodland and open meadow."
Ando will design new space for WACC to their specifications, providing much-needed expanded workspace and northern light. In addition, the building will provide opportunities for public viewing of conservators at work, which is not possible at WACC's current location on the central part of the Clark campus. WACC's needs are estimated at approximately 12,000 square feet. The move of the Conservation Center is the crucial first step in the Clark's overall expansion project. The building now housing WACC, a service building constructed in 1964, will be torn down to make way for the visitor/conference center and one-and-one-half acre reflecting pool designed by Ando.
"The staff and I look forward to seeing the space that Mr. Ando will design and are thrilled to be finally moving forward on our much-needed expansion," said Thomas Branchick, director of the WACC.
The facility will also include new galleries, which will initially be programmed in the summer. Small, chapel-like spaces will host intimate exhibitions of works of art from the Clark's collections or loaned works from periods and origins not normally seen at the Clark, from 20th-century paintings to Asian sculpture. In addition, space surrounding the building will have potential for outdoor sculpture displays. A flexible classroom/art studio space will allow the Clark to offer hands-on art classes and other educational programs for which there is no space in the current building. The space needed for the non-conservation functions of the facility is estimated at 6,000 square feet.
A country drive will connect the Stone Hill facility to the main campus. In addition, visitors can walk to the building on two scenic trails connecting it to the system of already well-used trails on the hill. Visitors and local residents who hike, ski, and snowshoe on Stone Hill may also use the new lot to park. Visitor amenities on the site will include restrooms (open to the public even when the galleries are closed) and a year-round shelter for hikers and skiers. A terrace with views of the Green Mountains will be open year-round and will also be used for outdoor dining in the summer and occasional special events.
Some of the programs to be offered in the Stone Hill facility had originally been planned for another location, on Route 7 in Williamstown between Mount Greylock Regional High School and Sweetwood Continuing Care Community. Insufficient water supply to that location led the Clark to relocate the phase 1 project on South Street.
Building Expansion and Campus Enhancement
In 2003, the Clark unveiled designs for a building expansion and campus enhancement designed by Ando. The Clark's building will be Ando's first museum project set within a rural American landscape. The main Ando building will include new gallery space to present more of the Clark's growing collection, particularly American art and decorative arts. Enhanced special exhibition galleries and visitor services such as orientation facilities, a shop, and restaurant, will support the Clark's role as a public art museum. The new facility will also support the continued growth of the Institute's seminal research and academic program.
The Clark
Celebrating 50 years of art in nature in 2005-2006, the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute is one of the country's foremost art museums and also a dynamic center for research and higher education in art history and criticism. The Clark's exceptional collections of Old Master, Impressionist, and 19th-century American art on display in the museum's intimate galleries are enhanced by its dramatic 140-acre setting in the Berkshires. The Clark organizes special exhibitions in collaboration with leading museums in the United States and Europe. These exhibitions advance the public understanding of art by presenting new scholarship and challenging ideas in popular and visually appealing ways. Upcoming exhibitions will include Jacques-Louis David: Empire to Exile (Summer 2005) and Winslow Homer (Fall 2005).
The Clark offers a range of public education and community programs that actively engage people of all ages and backgrounds. In addition to providing free gallery and classroom programs to schools, the Clark fully funds transportation costs for any school group that can travel to Williamstown by bus in one day. The Clark presents an annual family festival each summer as well as indoor family programs throughout the year, engaging children and adults alike in the arts through educational activities, entertainment, and hands-on experiences related to special exhibitions and the collection. Adult education includes art history courses for the public and for the Berkshire Institute of Lifelong Learning. Frequent gallery talks enhance the experience of the collections, including regular talks for new mothers with infants and monthly talks for working people on their lunch hour. As the authoritative voice of the visual arts in the region, the Clark offers free public lectures on special exhibitions, the collection, and other topics. The Clark also presents films as well as chamber, folk, and world music concerts. Local organizations often present programs in the Clark's auditorium.
The Clark is one of only a few art museums in the United States that is also a major research and academic center, with an international fellowship program and regular conferences, symposia, and colloquia, and an important art research library. The Clark, together with Williams College, jointly sponsors one of the nation's leading M.A. programs in art history and encompasses one of the most comprehensive art history libraries in the world. Its Fellows and conference programs draw university and museum professionals from around the world.

Baron Banks wasn't in Washington to witness President Barack Obama's State of the Union speech on Tuesday.
"No," he told me. "Nobody gave me a call."
So he wasn't in the first lady's box as the president somberly acknowledged the families that lost children through street violence in Chicago, like the family of Hadiya Pendleton, the 15-year-old girl who has become the new symbol of innocents killed by barbarians.
Instead, Banks was in his South Side bungalow in the South Chicago neighborhood. We talked through the open door. I was there to ask about his 12-year-old son, Nazia.
"He died right there, right on these front steps," Banks told me. "They caught him right here. They shot him. And all I had to do is say, 'Don't go out tonight. Wait for tomorrow.' But I didn't."
Nazia Banks was shot in the head on May 19 of last year. His father said he made him some tacos — Nazia's favorite meal — for dinner.
"He put his plate away, and he asked if he could go outside, and I said yes," said Banks.
There were no urgent politics attached to the boy's death, no White House or City Hall pressure to arrest the shooter, no political advantage, no TV trucks camped outside his family's old bungalow.
There wasn't any national attention paid to his death because media attention — national and local — was focused elsewhere.
Nazia died on the weekend that the NATO summit opened downtown. So journalists were intent on the gathering of diplomats, and the protesters and all that delicious, easy drama. I didn't write a single word about him. And except for a thin police story or two, there was nothing.
"I put up posters in the neighborhood for information," said his father, blinking into the light, "and I don't know if it's the wind or the dudes who killed him tearing them down."
I asked him about Obama and his State of the Union speech, and what he should say when he comes to Chicago on Friday.
"I hope he can do something, but politicians all talk garbage anyway. It's always been like this, since I was a shorty."
By mentioning Nazia, I'm not trying to criticize Obama's handling of Hadiya's death, nor am I trying to minimize the Pendleton family's loss or the pain felt by other families invited to Washington. The president can't invite the families of all 506 Chicago homicide victims last year.
And a city awash with corruption and violence becomes numb, until only special cases, and special circumstances, seem to pierce the civic skin.
The other day I told you about an ex-con homicide victim forgotten by everyone but his loving family. But today I wanted to bear witness to the loss of Nazia, and some of those other forgotten innocents, the legion of children who've been killed in recent years without the national media spotlight.
Like 7-year-old Heaven Sutton, who was sitting with her mother selling snacks and snow cones in the North Austin neighborhood on June 27 when a gangbanger opened fire and killed her.
Or Aliyah Shell, 6, sitting in the afternoon on her front porch with her mother, younger sister and a man on March 17. Police said a pickup truck pulled up in front of the home. A man inside the truck started shooting. Aliyah was killed.
Or Darius Brown, 13, shot to death while playing basketball in a Bronzeville park Aug. 3, 2011. Police said Darius was an innocent victim about to enter eighth grade at Holy Angels School.

I got a cool nav bar from graphic river, and I would love to use it, but I am having trouble figuring out what the best way to utilize it is. It is a psd document and I can hide all the bars I don't want, but I am not sure what to do about the hover graphic on each individual section. Is there a way to import it as a smart object or something, or do I need to slice up each section?
Thanks for all your help, you guys save me all the time
Can you show us the menu you're hoping the use?

This isn't the exact same one, but it is one I had open (considering it on another project) http://graphicriver.net/item/highly-detailed-navigation-menus/1838676? WT.ac=category_thumb&WT.seg_1=category_thumb&WT.z_author=Aloisc
They just come as a PSD with all the layers editable.
Hi Ayetti957,
Without a look at the PSD file, all of this is just a guess.
Perhaps this will get you going in the right direction.
First thing you want to do is look for an external readme file or any notes from the designer on how to use the psd file.
Try Menu: View>Show>Annotations to see if there are any instructions embedded in the PShop file.
Also, look to see if there is a text only layer (normally turned off) with instructions in it.
There's going to be some slicing involved - one way or the other.
Hopefully, the nav bar designer already did the slicing for you
Menu: View>Show>Slices (That's the way it works on my PShop CS3)
If the slices show up then most of the work has already been done.
Next, you have to figure out how the designer implemented the rollover effects in the PShop file.
Take a close look at the layers and layer groups.
Do any of them look like rollovers or does the name imply a rollover effect?
Take a close look at the layer styles.
If any are off, try turning them on (one at a time) and see if the effect looks like a rollover.
The way this PSD is set up, it has four menu bars each with a different section being rolled over (It is not made up in the way were I can slice it up just based on hovered or not)
Here is a screenshot of what it looks like

Ok - good, the layout presents the rollover effects for you.
Did you check to see if any slices are already in place?
Checked and the slices are not there. Should I slice up the bar for each section of menu?
All the tutorials I have found really only cover the slicing when it is saved in a way were the rollover is a separate layer in the same image.
Sorry about the double post, sometimes the iPad won't cooperate on this forum
Yup - time to start slicing.
It's also time to do a little forward thinking.
(Lots more to it than what I mention here, but this should get you going in the right direction.)
For a static html site:
Change the text for the buttons to what you need for your site.
Set up your slices for each "button".
one for "normal", one for "hover" and one for "current page".
For a non-static CMS type site you will have to slice things up differently.
(The menu is typically an unordered list and the menu text can be dynamically changed.)
CSS is used to "dress up" the menu and your slices will be used for background images.
Perfect, thanks for helping man really appreciate it!
The site is static, I think I am going to modify the bars so that there is one that is all hovered buttons and one that is all non hovered and then slice those up.
How should I setup the code in dreamweaver so it will show the hovered vs non hovered?
You're welcome!
I'm using an old version of DW (CS3) and I've always used the DW supplied javascript code:
MM_swapImgRestore() MM_findObj(n, d) MM_swapImage() MM_preloadImages()
Here's a link to a tutorial on how to use them.
Be advised though, there may be a more current Dreamweaver-way of doing rollovers right now.
Thank you so much for all your help man! I am using cs5.5 and it has an "insert/image object/rollover image" I really appreciate all the work you guys put into answering questions here!
Thanks again.

Madonna Booed For Obama Endorsement in Concertby Free Britney at .
Madonna told the crowd at her Saturday concert in New Orleans to "vote for Obama" and was promptly booed. The comment also triggered walkouts by several fans:
The pop icon told the audience at the October 27 show, after asking who was registered to vote, "I don't care who you vote for as long as you vote for Obama."
"Seriously, I don't care who you vote for ... Do not take this privilege for granted. Go vote," she later added.
It's the latest in a long line of memorable concert moments from Madonna's MDNA tour, including:
- Supporting gay rights and Pussy Riot in Russia
- Dedicating a song to Elton John
- Revealing a tattoo of Obama's name
- Showing a swastika superimposed on French political leader's forehead
- Covering and maybe sort of dissing Lady Gaga
- Whipping out guns on various occasions
- Falling on stage in Dallas
Rock n' roll.

Maybe some people are getting tired of celebrities trying to tell them how to think. They went to a concert to be entertained, not have a civic duty lesson.
And to memy, if they were cheering before she even said his name, then they weren't cheering about Obama, they were cheering because of Madonna. People don't tend to cheer a statement before it is made, unless you think the people in Louisiana are all psychic and new in advance what she was going to say before she said it.....
HELLO!?!? this shows me how people are! ITS CLEAR the commenting folk are only looking at the article because it appears to be anti obama. DID YOU EVEN LISTEN TO THE VIDEO!?! THE ENTIRE CROWD IS CHEERING FOR OBAMA!!! And then there was a couple in a front seat and she asked "Are they booing" looking down at them! THE CROWD was cheering obama BEFORE she even stated his name even! Are you people just talking to be talking?!?!
Oh my goodness- you have been hit in the head with a set of Rhino nuts this weekend haven't you! They booed her stinky ass in Houston 2 days before and the same in the Big Easy! Celebrites are not worth shit. Obama is going away and the best thing the punch of you can do is try and find a job..
Madonna is trying to be still be hip, but political endorsements at a concert? She's an entertainer!...who's wants to hear who she supports when you pay to see her gyrate and sing? And speaking of gyrating, how old is this woman now? Geez. A little too old to be falling for that hopey-changey talk again.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
The webcam has become a bit neglected in recent years. With most notebooks and many monitors coming with inbuilt webcams, the need for one of these gadgets has reduced significantly. Nonetheless, if you require a standalone model for blogging or suchlike, here are a few of our favourite models.
To read our full, in-depth review, click on the model name of each camcorder.
The FaceVsion TouchCam N1 HD Webcam is a bit hefty, but it packs a lot of power into its 720p HD video capture.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

1804 J St, Sacramento, CA | Directions 9581438.577158 -121.482203
Daily 11am-1am
Neighborhoods: Central Sacramento, Midtown
Been to England. This is not even close to a pub. – I used to frequent this "so called" pub. It not bad if your looking for a bar with a bunch of college age kids. The staff is kind of on the rude side and I doubt any of them have been to England. The food is fair at best and is very Americanized!!! Burger and fries, salad, soup, sandwiches??? What the hell? Just because you have bangers and mash, fish and chips you can get at any restaurant and London in your name that doesn't make you a pub. First thing first, when I walk into a pub I want it to feel cozy and like home. This feels like a bar and no pub serves HARD liqueur. Second, I want "ENGLISH" beer and don't want it to be over priced! Wow... so you have Boddingtons and Guinness. Big deal!!! I'm just so feed up with this place. I don't want a Juke box at a pub either.
You want my recommendation.... go to Bonn's Lair on 36th and J. This is probably the most Authentic English Pub in Sacramento I've seen. I toured Europe with one of my bands back in 2000 so I know a good pub when I see one. Great selection on English beer like Maredsous, Bombardier, etc. Fish and chips are the best I've had and their prices rival anyone!!! Cheers!!!
Ridiculously rude bartenders – I've heard alot about this place, so, I took a group of 5 people there after a recent cocert at the Auditorium...could've gon eto alot of places, but chose SOL. Dressed nicely & waiting patiently at the bar with $60 bucks showing iin hand......a blonde bartender looked and walked by me 7 times serving people to either side of me.....one patron even yelled, "No, this guys is cool ans was wayyyy before me...why won't you serve him?"....she walked away and had another bartender chick (dark brown hair and HOT) take my simple 6 drink beer order. I asked, "whats up with that, I've NEVER been here before?"...she said, "not sure, she doesn't dig you..." WTF?! ....she even sasid, "you're a good lookin' dude too, I don't know....and gave me a beer on the house. I've never waited 12 mionutes for a beer order, nor, ever been snubbed, 86'd...nothing from a bar and I went to Chico State for 5 freakin years racking up all kinds of bar time......UNBELIEVABLY horrible service....bad part is, we went to another pub and I dropped $100+ in 2 hours that could've gone to S.O.L. ..your lose, I'll NEVER go back.
great comfort food – Everything I?ve tried here has been great. The signature bangers and mash are a must try, along with an appetizer that consists of an hard boiled egg, wrapped in sausage, then deep fried. Heavenly heavy food.
Outdoor seating is available, a must if you or your friends are smokers. And there are vegetarian items on the menu that a veggy friend said were excellent.
Do, however, avoid on nights during the weekends, where the place becomes overly crowded with drinking college students. Lines for tables and bathrooms grow endless.
There's no parking lot so you'll have to park on the street somewhere.
Please do not go to the Streets of London Pub – My family and I have just been kicked out of the Streets of London Pub.
They assumed one of our party was intoxicated.
The fact is he has Macular Degeneration. He is blind.
Even after we informed the owner of his error he still insisted on telling us to leave.
They have caused great humilation, embarrassment and pain to this person and this family.
This is not a simple matter of bad food or service. These are bad people and they should understand this is a line they should not cross. You can get over
their bad food and service, but being made to feel that because you have a disability you should not be there is wrong!
Home again – London born so I enjoy some food chips. I love mine with vinegar and salt. Yum. The chips are great the mushrooms are better, and the foozeball ain't half bad.
Streets of London is turning into my least favorite pub. QQ – I've been going to 'Streets' for many, many years. I was a hardcore patron and now rarely decide to come here. Ever since the introduction of 'hard' alcohol turned it from English pub to Sac State frathouse. It wasn't a instant change for the worse. But soon after most of the friendly waitresses was replaced with sweaty, unshowered tools. These new bartenders are so unclean it makes my skin crawl. Literally one guy mixed a bloody mary for me and practically submerged his fist into the glass. That is sick. And he looked like he just rolled outta bed. Bartenders should have some consideration for the people paying for adequite service to wash off last nights shag. On a high note the food is tasty if you love things of deepfried nature. Even the bullitproof bangers and mash are a thing of yesterday. I wish I had more things nice to say but I feel completely gutted.
Bitchy Bartenders – You people can't be serious. This place has a cool atmosphere, but the bartenders are freakin' horrible. I am a bartender myself so I'm a bit lenient. But come on, I shouldn't have to wait 10 minutes for 3 shots of Jameson with attitude. I came in with a group of restaurant industry people that tip well and we still felt like we were putting these bitches out. I may sound bitter, but I'm just talking about my own experience. We will not go back, even though we work nearby.
Beer selection and vibe are excellent. Avoid the food. – I enjoy a UK-style pub. This place has the decor and beer selection just fine, excellent even. The food is way off. The meal tasted like a microwaved-meal that was first freezer burned, then overcooked. Maybe just a bad day, but that meal made my top 10 of worst ever. Come for the UK-theme, stay for the beer, and leave for a meal elsewhere.
The scary french fries – Well, chips really. I actually went to Streets for the first time a month before I moved to the UK. Just checking out what I was in for. And while this place is great, and I didnt hear any ABBA at all while I was there ( I think I hear more of it over here with that new Madonna song sampling them). Anyway, what is up with the chips? They kinda look like pancakes and are rectangular. They tasted ok, but as a chip gourmet I wouldn't really want them again. Everything else was lovely, mind. And you all should go to Streets and appreciate a pseudo-trip to the UK...well minus the cloudy smokey bit of our pubs here (well, til march ends anyway) :P Cheers.
bagers and mash – Streets of London is the best. The bangers(sausages to non-anglophiles) and mashed potatoes w/peas is "to die for" and the fish and chips are pretty tasty, too. Great beer selection.excellent jukebox. Get there early for a good table. Also, you must order at the bar, but food is brought to your table. Sunday Night Trivia Quiz at 9 pm is really fun and challenging. Only con:frequent interruptions by other customers asking for your table when you leave....thought this only tends to happen on weekend nights.

Anyone know of a plist or something that could fix this issue that bothers me? Basically the iphone doesn't act like ipod's used to in the sense that when you pause/stop playing and leave it for hours it doesn't restart where it left off.
Therefore, when I put my iphone in my pocket in the morning and hit the home button and press play with the headphones it almost always starts to play the first song (alphabetically) and it doesn't shuffle, thus it just goes through my songs A-Z. I have to pull it out of my pocket and choose Songs > Shuffle Songs and then it's good to go.
Basically it's annoying hearing the same shit everyday until I have a minute to ruffle through my pocket to hit shuffle. Is there a file that could be edited that would make it start to play my songs, but shuffle them automatically?
I doubt there's a way to make it do as ipods did (restart where left off). I notice it only does this when the phone has slept for a while. If I stop/restart playing within hours of last use it usually picks up where it left off like the ipods, though not always. Basically where's the always shuffle option?
Anyone have more info on how this works and where it could be changed?

The pavement might be too slick for his horse.
"If it's raining we probably won't go out because the kids won't be out," Craig Waldron, who has played the horseman for the past three years, said.
Light showers are predicted to hit Anniston on all-Hallow's Eve, according to Jody Aarons with the National Weather Service office in Calera. Still, it shouldn't worry young ghouls and goblins, as thunderstorms aren't expected until after 9 p.m.
"If you're out and about, take an umbrella, but don't cancel any plans," Aarons said.
Glenwood Terrace resident Debra Ann Wakefield and Carolyn Freeman of Piedmont both said Tuesday that their usual Halloween activities will continue as planned.
Trick-or-treating on Glenwood usually begins in the late afternoon and ends in the early evening, depending on whether it's a school night, while Halloween Downtown in Piedmont will be run from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Both Wakefield and Freeman said they have been following the local weather forecasts and are hopeful that the heavier rain will stay away until later on in the evening.
Wakefield said her neighborhood's Halloween events rival that of Christmas. If the weather permits, the horseman should show up sometime around 4:30 and stay until 6 p.m.
"It's a wonderful tradition for Anniston and something the kids really look forward to," she said.
Halloween Downtown was established in Piedmont eight years ago so children could have a safe place to trick-or-treat.
Freeman that said on Halloween the downtown streets are usually blocked off. Instead of going from house to house, children can visit the downtown area, play games and get free candy.
"It usually brings in a big crowd," Freeman said. "We usually spend $150 on candy before it starts and have to run out two or three times to get more."
Oxford resident Jeremy Cruse said regardless of the weather, his haunted attraction, the Terrortorium, will still be open Thursday night.
"We're an all indoor operation - even our waiting area is inside," Cruse said. "If people can't go Trick or Treating they can still come to the Terrortorium and get scared and not get soaked."
Tickets prices for the Terrortorium range from $7 to $17.
Oxford police Lt. L.G. Owens said motorists should be more careful on Thursday because children will be walking in places they ordinarily wouldn't.
"You can't travel like you normally do through subdivisions," he said.
Owens suggested that parents inspect their children's candy before allowing kids to eat it and to be suspicious of anything not in a factory wrapper. Trick-or-treating children should be accompanied by an adult, wear bright colors, and avoid houses that are dark, the lieutenant said.
"Houses that don't have their lights on obviously aren't participating," he said.
Chris Osborne with the Alabama Red Cross suggested figuring out a trick-or-treat route during the daytime. That way, parents and children are familiar with the neighborhoods they're going to be in on Halloween.
Osborne also suggested rain boots and clear-plastic ponchos to combat the rainy weather — with a clear poncho, costumes are still visible.
"These are common sense things but things that are good to think of a day ahead," he said.
